Yeah I'm definitely keen to get stuck in. Tho I only have an outdoor car parking space so not ideal.
I'm gonna look into the tools I need and order the service manual, unless there's a pdf version of it around?
I'm happy to spend time and money on this car, I want to learn and get it into good shape. I know I come across as a bit of a hysterical tight arse, but it's more that I was told these jobs wouldn't cost much at all...but if I take it to a shop, they will, and it's eating into my budget.
Re the shocks, it's actually had a lift kit on it, so the shocks aren't that old by the looks of them. But maybe the bushings were cheap...or the entire kit is cheap.
And I've found some new genuine Toyota bushes for just over $200 on amayama so if I can get those fitted I would be happy.
Anyway, I appreciate the comments
